This was our 3rd stay at this amazing home. Can't say enough positive things about the property, the cleanliness, and the owners. We took our dogs for their first trip, and they had a blast. Highly recommend and can't wait to rent again!

All good

We had a great week relaxing & enjoying the cottage. Hope to be back soon.

Rented this property for our family to spend Christmas together. We throughly enjoyed it. Awesome views of the beautiful water. One of the most, if not the most beautiful view, we have ever seen. We are definitely considering this place again for next Christmas. Absolutely loved it. Thanks

We had a great time. Went crabbing. Enjoyed the house

This is our favorite VRBO place of all time. We had another great stay. Last year we stayed for 2 weeks and we were glad that we decided to visit for 3 weeks this time because the extra time left us feeling so relaxed and content. Although the remnants of Hurricane Ian hung around with gale winds and rain for a good part of a week, we were cozy in the house and we enjoyed watching the wind and waves along with watching the eagles and heron pair venture out when there was a lull in the weather. Before the weather turned, we caught a small rockfish, 6 Taylor Blues that were around 16 to 18 inches long, many croakers, and a flounder. Although the crabbing was a little off this year, we caught a total of about 40 keeper crabs over the 3 weeks which allowed us to have crab cakes twice and crab salad once along with crab claw appetizers. We call the view from the Rivah Room, our home theater because there is always a show outside. From the eagles to the bluebirds to the fish jumping or sailboats coming by, there is always something to see outside. On clear nights, we sat outside on the new seating set on the deck and we watched the stars. We had the pleasure of meeting Lori’s husband Dave and Lori’s Father, Ken this time. Ken is a master fisherman and he gave us some tips. It is always a pleasure to communicate with Lori. She is clearly focused on giving her guests the best possible experience. The dock was redone since last year and the dock is a little higher and the boat lift has been removed which gives one a better view of the Potomac. There is a new refrigerator which seems much roomier inside than the old one. The master king sized bed is still very comfy and the mattress is only a few years new. Although it is just us two retired folks in the house, I can see that the home and grounds are roomy enough for a larger group. What are you waiting for? This is going to be your new happy place too.

My husband, my parents and my three teenage sons all loved the Rivah house. The views from the front a River room are just breathtaking. There was plenty of room for us to all to comfortably cohabitate and spread out. The sunrises and sunsets were so gorgeous. My father and 13 years old barely left the dock and spent the whole time fishing. The poles and crab pot are right there at the house. There was also a croquet set that we used and a kayak with paddles and life jackets. We loved everything about the house except there wasn't any space in the cupboards to put our food in them so the counter was really cluttered, but that was a very minor detail. We cooked all our meals at the house since there is really nothing around to do or any great places to eat. This is an excellent and beautiful spot if you are looking to just relax and get away from it all. We did drive to Williamsburg the one day (About 1 hour and 45 minutes each way) just for something to do. Also of note is that we went on late August and there were a lot of Jellyfish which kept us out of the water for a few days, but some days there weren't to many and we did swim from the little sandy beach. There were even dolphins the one morning! We really enjoyed it and this is an amazing and friendly host. You won't regret going here. Loved it.

Very good place for peace and quiet to good fishing and just to relax . The kitchen had what you needed two living room one with entertainment and one to relax and watch the water back deck was nice to relax on good place for pets. Fishing deck was ready for fishing pole holders prep table with water lights . It would be a place I would love to go back to

The home is beautiful and nice location. Will be going back next year

The property was just as shown, a beautiful dock was perfect for our 2 young boys to catch a ton of little fish off of. The property was clean and had wonderful views. We will def. Back!

We had another great trip this year. We have stayed at this property for several years in a row now and it never disappoints.

My family and I had a fantastic time! We spent lots of time fishing, crabbing and floating in tubes. The house was in a perfect location and the room looking out over the river was simply amazing! We hope to go back again next year!

This is our second time at the property and we loved it just the same as we did our first time! A laid back atmosphere allows for great family relaxation and bonding. The dock is good for fishing and the beach is great for swimming. The sunrises and sunsets are unmatched to watch from the dock. The Rivah house will always hold a special place in our hearts. Thank you, again, for an unforgettable vacation!

The cleanest and most comfortable river cottage we have stayed in. The listing photos don’t show how nice it is. Lori has thought of just about everything you will need. The beach area is bigger than the photos indicate. And then there is the river room. The views are amazing. Sun rises, sunsets and the most amazing thunderstorm light show over the river. Great spot for kids and dogs. We will be back next summer.

The house is well maintained. Right on the water. The dock is in great shape. Nice to fish and crab. The house is setup with everything you need. Very happy we stay here and would love to come back.

Wonderful views, very peaceful. Definitely a spot to get away and relax! Thanks Lori!

What a gem! Splendid one floor layout with a sunroom overlooking the Potomac river with close in osprey watching! Spot and white perch never disappointed every time we wet a line off a private newly built pier. Neighborhood is very quite, clean and delightful place to take a walk…..long or short! We will be returning!

Quite neighbor. Perfect for couples or family. Dog friendly with a little beach for swimming. Dock was great for fishing, sunbathing, enjoying the sunrise and sunsets.

Relaxing! Very friendly and nice community. Loved the fishing, but most of all the view- awesome!

We always have a wonderful, peaceful time. It is just the break we need from our fast-paced jobs. I never want to leave!

My husband and I had a thoroughly enjoyable vacation at the Cottage. This was our first trip since Covid began and the Northern Neck is a perfect area to get away and be able to remain socially distant. We have been staying in this area for several years now and we have now found our new favorite place. The home was very well equipped for our 2 week stay. The average cook has everything that they need available in the super clean kitchen. There were paper products provided and also cleaning items available. It was the cleanest VRBO that we have ever rented. The king bed in the master was very comfortable. Lori has gone out of her way to make sure that her guests have a great experience. The River Room was amazing. The Potomac is ruled by the wind. Some days it was very windy so we stayed inside and other days it was calm. We spent a lot of time in the River Room watching the eagles, ospreys, great blue heron pair, and bluebirds. Lori’s Dad, Ken, is a great fisherman and his many awards are on the walls so it was neat to see the bounty of the Potomac. One morning, the Potomac was like glass and we watched 2 waves of dolphin pods work the area just beyond the dock. We fished and crabbed most days and the dock, fish cleaning table, and live well really made our trip. There are 2 chairs bolted down on the dock which was convenient. As other reviewers have mentioned, the internet was very slow in this area but we were there to unplug and unwind. Our cells were also a little spotty at times. We were entertained by nature during the day and looking up at the stars at night. Lori was a pleasure to work with. Thanks again for sharing your home with us. We are missing the view and cannot wait until next year!

This house was all it said and MORE! Well stocked in every way! We had a great time! Peaceful, pleasant, near all the things we needed! The fishing was great! Will definitely go back!

The home is beautiful with amazing views. It’s definitely a peaceful place to vacation and the neighbors are so sweet and friendly. My pups had a great time playing with all their new friends.

We stayed in this house 2 years ago and really enjoyed our time there. It was once again a great place to go to get away without having to deal with any crowds. Our 2 year old grandson LOVED the water and many days didn't want to get out. Lori is always easy to deal with before, during and after the stay.
